JWCHB'HAM Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) We need to open a new work station. The only peice of equipment that we need is a centrifuge. Currently we are using the old Clay Adams Sero-fuge II. I would like to find out what others are using and their over all opinion. Thank-you in advance for your help.

John C. Staley Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Helmer sales the Hettich Zentrifugen EBA 21. We have 3 of them and really like them. They are fast, quite and have a fairly small foot print.:imslow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMunden Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Clay-Adams II were what we had, and went to the new serofuges (based on past performance) the Serofuge 2001...stay away from them! I have had to replace the hinges at least once per year/even after they "improved" them, additionally the rubber "feet" break easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patpilkington Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Helmer EBA 21 - they're great, easy to maintain, efficient, no downtime in the 5 years we've had them. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne P. Scannell Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 We have the EBA-21's as well and we love them!!! They are available from one of our sponsors, Wescott Laboratory Solutions. He promises great pricing. For easy reference, click on that ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngblood Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 we've been using the Clay-Adams Serofuge 2001 for over a year now without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate murphy Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 As above: Helmer, Helmer, Helmer! Do not use Thermo! 3 years ago, we bought 6 Thermo's, within 6 months all were down. We got loaners from Thermo, then they went down, then the company was unresponsive. I replaced all with Helmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooly Mammoth Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I agree regarding Helmer EBA-21 very good unit and the Ultra CW for cell washing. Great company, good service, well built product. If you order the EBA-21 you may want to inquire regarding direction of numbers stamped on the head. Ours go clockwise and I prefer counter clockwise. Good Zentrifugen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hettich Zentrifugen EBA 21--I have three of them bought them in 2004--no down time. Even my chemistry supervisor liked them and she is using them for STAT spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
